Two new widgets: Image gallery and video field

Our whole mission with Phile is to make it easy for groups to create a website where the community can publish information back IN to the website. But we didn’t have a way for the community to publish images into the site…

…which is why we added the image gallery widget. Use the image gallery whenever you want to allow the community to share pictures of something. For a restaurant Phile site, you can use this to share pictures of food. For a stamp collecting Phile site, you can use this to share pictures of… well, you get the idea.

We’ve also added a video field. People have started using this for videos of bands, screencasts of iPhone apps, etc. Also, as an extra bonus, when you share a Phile page with a video on it via Facebook, the video embeds properly.

So check out these new widgets and send us feedback at feedback@phile.com.

Enjoy!
